Data

Hi Everyone, I am working on a project for school and am reading in CAD data and outputting it as GIS data. However, the File Geodatabase writer is not outputting any features. I am setting it up how I’ve always done it in the past, but it is not creating the GDB where specified as the translation log says no features are being written. I have no clue on why this is happening nor how to fix it, so any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi all, I would like to use an existing FME reader to open a file with an unsupported extension. Is there a workaround to achieve this? Alternatively, how can I clone an existing reader and modify it to support the desired file extension? Thanks a lot! 🤓hp

Hi,I have a layer with closed polygons. On top of these polygons lies a layer with smaller areas. These areas are divided into 3 types.Each type of area needs to be assigned a year, and the total area per table type should be approximately equal within the larger area.How can I create a distribution where each type of area is used, and the total area of each type is approximately equal?How could I achieve this with FME?

I’m encountering this error and am at a loss. Everything in workbench (SQLCreator - Attribute Mgr - Excel Writer) seems to work fine, up until it gets to the writer. Excel Writer: Failed to write an attribute of type 'string' with value 'XMLDATA' to row '0' column '-1015942868'. Error message is 'col must be in range 0-16383'. Skipping featureWriter Mode: UpdateOutput Field Names: YesFormal Field Names: NoUse Attribute Names as Column Positions: YesStart Position: Start Column: 1 Start Row: 1  Any suggestions?  

I am working with a script that transfers data from one SDE to another SDE. Currently, the script does not ensure that the relationship between a feature and its attachment remains intact. To address this, I extended the workspace based on the guidelines in this article: Writing ArcGIS Geodatabase Attachments.This solution worked fine when transferring data from one GDB to another GDB using the same data model. However, when we run the script from one SDE to another SDE with the same data model and data, it fails and I encounter the following error messages: Failed to retrieve origin row for a relationship feature with OBJECTID '3' from table/feature class 'BAGGERWERK_WATERLOPEN' GeodatabaseRelationshipFeaturesPipeline::GeodatabaseRelationshipFeatures (SortFactory): A fatal error has occurred. Could you provide guidance on how to resolve this issue?

I have 4/5 layers of rasters representing the geological horizons. I want to visualize the layers in 3D voxel. what the result look something  like this. Is there a way to get this with fme? 

Hi, Im trying to write approx 17.000 rows into an existing feature service in AGOL. I get the error "entity too large for url", so I assume its too many rows. I have tested with a few rows, and that works fine.  I have tried now to use the ModuloCounter and a TestFilter to split into smaller groups, and then add multiple AGOL-writers, so they only write one group at the time. Im not sure this is the best way to go, as I would the need a lot of writers. Another is to use the FeatureWriter to do the same, but I would still need to do the setup for all the groups, so not sure if thats ideal.  Does anyone have any better suggestion? Best,Anne Kathrine

I have been having a consistent problem in FME for quite a while now, across both 2023 and current 2024 versions. I have a workspace set up which has a SQL Spatial reader, a few transformers, then a writer back to the database of origin.Any time I run this database, it goes through and successfully runs it within FME. However, as soon as I go to another source and read the database table(s) involved, such as SQL Server Management Studio or QGIS, I find that the data is still the exact same as it was originally, like FME had done absolutely nothing. Likewise, if I make a new table, it will simply make an empty table with only the columns/fields intact, with no attributes at all. I have no problems editing data from this database in QGIS or SQL Server Management Studio and have even had colleagues run the exact same FME Workspace with no such problems. I have also had two different FME installations on two different devices behave exactly like this.I'm pretty much out of ideas here. Has

Hi I'm trying to update attributes in a copy of an MS Access database. The workbench fails at the writer due to a provider error '(-2147467261) invalid pointer. Any ideas as to what the issue may be?

Hi, Currently have a process that recieves a list of record id’s from Salesforce using HTTP callouts, the record ID include the ID of records from a custom object and the id of a number of users, we are trying to create an insert in the customobject_share to create records to give the list of userId access to the records from out custom object.  We currently are getting an error,Salesforce Writer: Record 1 was not processed successfully: 'FIELD_INTEGRITY_EXCEPTION:invalid parent id: Parent ID:ParentId --' The parent id is the record Id of the salesforce record we are creating a related share record against. the record exist in salesforce and in testing we have event tried hardcoding te ID of both records, and user Id with RowCause = “Manual” and Access Level = “Edit”. The form is running as using the Salesforce reader/writer with a System Admins login details? Thanks  

I am trying to upload a tif stored in my PC locally to the contents in arcgis online. I can upload the shapefiles efficiently but not tifs. Can someone advise? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I want to create a Esri Personal Geodatabase whose structure is specified in an Excel table. Is that possible? How can I achieve that?

Using an Esri ArcGIS Online connection and the Esri ArcGIS Online (AGOL) Feature Service reader, I'm unable to read a feature service that has been shared to our organization.When looking at the select form, i’m only provided my user folder and a groups folder. The feature service i’d like to read isn’t owned by me or shared with a group. Is this as-designed or is there another way to read it? Thank you  

Hi everyone,I have a feature class in a File Geodatabase that I need to update. I have two sources for these updates: a CSV file with codes of the changed features, which I should use to remove those features from the main dataset, and separate shapefiles for each changed feature that needs to be added back to the main dataset. (I shouldn’t delete and update the whole dataset, I should update the changed features only.)What is the best way to approach this in FME?Thank u in advance for your time. 

Hi,When running a workspace with cache mode activated i can see in the Translation log that fme form writes ffs, and writes and index and so starts it with a process i am not familiar with: “Destination Feature Type Routing Correlator” and it takes so long to go through.What is this process about? is it possible to avoid?Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have a SQL Executor calling a stored procedure.  I am running FME Form FME(R) 2023.2.1.0 (20240104 - Build 23774 - WIN64) and am getting this issue:Microsoft SQL Server Non-Spatial Reader: Failed to connect using Microsoft OLE DB Driver 19 for SQL Server. Provider error '(-2146824582) Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed.'The transformer is not failing, but its not producing a result either. Not sure how to move forward with this one. Any thoughts?Thanks 

Hi, I used an AttributeFilter transformer to split attributes. I want to write each of them as a feature class in a new file geodatabase. What is the best way to do that?Thank you for your assistance.

Hello. I have a workbench that reads an XML and splits it into attributes with their values (with one spatial attribute). I am trying to write this data to an existing, empty SQL Server table. If I set the writer to create a new table, it runs fine, but I can't seem to get it to populate my existing table. The workspace runs, and passes with warnings, but when I go to my SQL Server table it is still empty. Any ideas?  My writer is configured as follows: Feature operation: Insert Table Handling: Use existing  The translation log claims that all of my features have been written, and the data inspector shows them fine, but it just won't populate my table.  Thanks! 

Hi,I want to fill the User Param Choice with data from a table in MS SQL. This works fine with the 'Import->From dataset...' option. but this function only populates data statically. Is there any way to 'hack' this to fetch data dynamically? The idea is that this Workspace should work in a App in FME Flow.  

My organization has a platform that allows users to collect spatial data. We have a forest plot survey that allows users to collect information about forest characteristics. The form is intense, with many nested layers, many-to-one relationships, and repeating sections. I have developed a workbench that reads the JSON from our organization website and ‘unpacks’ it into it’s individual tables, all with id’s to perform the necessary joins down the road. Previously I was just writing all the tables to their own sheet in an excel document, but now my managers are asking me to populate the data into their preferred format, so they have given me an excel table to show what they want the output to look like. It’s not a data friendly format. Essentially, they want all the data to populate onto a single sheet where the sheet has multiple instances of different fields names in the same column. Think like multiple tables stacked on top of each other in one sheet.  My initial idea was to write all

I am trying to create a GML file that complies to the GML simple features profile (GML-SF) (http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=42729). I already created a GML application schema that complies to the GML simple features profile. It follows the pattern described in GML-SF, 8.4.2:<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:ex="urn:uuid:3c615c60-013b-4006-bf53-d0ba4fb5fc94" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml/3.2" elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="urn:uuid:3c615c60-013b-4006-bf53-d0ba4fb5fc94" version="1.0.0"> <import namespace="http://www.opengis.net/gml/3.2" schemaLocation="http://schemas.opengis.net/gml/3.2.1/gml.xsd"/> <element name="FeatureCollection" type="ex:FeatureCollectionType" substitutionGroup="gml:AbstractGML"/> <complexType name="FeatureCollectionType"> <complexContent> <extension base="gml:AbstractFeatureType">

Hi, I’m having some problems working with the CSV Reader. I created a Reader from a CSV that has 3 fields: Address, City, and ZIP. I have ‘Case Sensitive Field Names’ and ‘Enforce Strict Schema’ set to No, but then if I modify my source CSV to have the attributes: address, city zip, and Notes, the Reader fails to read in any data.What am I doing wrong here? It seems like even though I changes some properties for the Reader, it is defaulting back to the original schema that I input when creating the Reader. Any help is greatly appreciated. 

Hi,I have one script in R running in RCaller, but the RCaller show some messages like erros but no erros, my script run properly. I would like to ignore these messages and generate one feature for the next transformer. How can I do this?  Thank´s

Hello , I'm looking for an efficient way to compare the versioned SDE with the original SDE. I'd like to perform this comparison before running the compression and before posting the jobs in the database.I believe it would be time-consuming to read and compare all tables from both the versioned and original SDE. Is there a method that would allow me to read only the specific tables that have been edited in the versioned SDE?Thanks in advance FME 2021
